Keep Tahoe Red, White and Blue Beach Cleanup

After Tahoe’s celebrated July Fourth festivities, our beaches are covered with trash, which can hurt wildlife and lake clarity. Each year, hundreds of Tahoe residents and visitors turn out for our largest cleanup of the year to remove litter from our beaches. Help Keep Tahoe Blue by volunteering at a beach cleanup site!

What to bring: comfortable clothing and shoes, sunscreen, cleanup gloves (if you have them), hat, sunglasses, any snacks that you would like and a reusable water bottle.

We provide: reusable cleanup bags, gloves, hand sanitizer, snacks, water to refill your water bottle and a raffle.

All volunteers attending Keep Tahoe Blue events must fill out a waiver. RSVP now and save time at the event by completing the waiver HERE.

Those that RSVP will receive event details closer to the event date. Volunteers under 18 will need to have a guardian sign the waiver and the volunteer must bring the signed waiver to the event. The guardian may also attend the event and can sign off for the minor at the event.

The League is committed to providing safe, fun and meaningful events while pursuing our mission to Keep Tahoe Blue. To safeguard the health of our volunteers, staff and community, we have aligned our events procedures and preparation with the most current public health guidelines from governments and scientific organizations.

To protect our volunteers and community, the League will:

Stay home if we have a cough, fever or any COVID-19 symptoms, or have been in contact with someone that has displayed these symptoms, and will urge our event attendees to do the same

Ensure equipment is regularly cleaned with disinfectant and laundered, especially prior to each event

Regularly sanitize frequently touched surfaces

Ensure our staff wears face masks and gloves before and during events

Abide by social/physical distancing guidelines

Provide signage for best practices and reminders for infection control at the event

Provide sanitization materials, including hand sanitizer and gloves

Stagger check-in times and areas to prevent large groups from forming

Mark six-foot spacing intervals at check-in areas

Minimize material handling and handoffs

Provide more extensive online trainings and materials in order to maintain physical distancing at events

We will provide first aid kits, but not first aid assistance
